Getting started
Liquid Bleach Compartment (on some models)
IMPORTANT: The bleach compartment position varies by model. Be sure to
identify the correct compartment for bleach before using.
If desired, measure out the recommended amount of liquid bleach, not to exceed 1/3 cup
(80 ml), and pour into the right compartment labeled "LIQUID BLEACH".
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the
bleach which could result in damaged clothes.
NOTE: Do not use powdered bleach in the dispenser.
Fabric Softener Compartment (on some models)
IMPORTANT: The fabric softener compartment position varies by model. Be sure to
identify the correct compartment for fabric softener before using.
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the compartment
labeled "FABRIC SOFTENER."
Use only liquid fabric softener in the dispenser.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could stain clothes.
NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.

Loading

Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates) and whether the
fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy). Wash lint producers such as cotton
towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.
WARNING
DO NOT wash fabrics soiled with flammable liquids or cleaning solvents.
No washer can completely remove oil.
DO NOT wash or dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil (including cooking oils).
DO NOT reach into the washer until all moving parts have stopped.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire or amputation.
Loading the Washer
The wash drum may be fully loaded with loosely added items.
